I want to get my lighting up to the medium catagory. I want to grow some carpet plants. I want to DIY the whole set-up.
I believe that 2 T5HO will do the trick. I have a 36 gallon bowfront, 18" to bottom and 4" from light to surface.
But I was thinking of designing a LED set-up. I have friends and co-workers that work in the development of electronics and circuitry, so I am not intimidated there.
I have browsed other forums to try to get my head around LED lighting. I am beginning to grasp PAR values and the like. But when I begin to look around for individual LED's themselves, the jargon kills me.
Does anyone have a good site that can break down what I am needing to look for to find good LED lights for Aqauriums, specifically for plant growth?
Thanks!
